Tommy in Raging Bull.

"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea

Fine. Make me google it myself.

Frankie Carbo is the name. Involved with a lot of fight fixing in the '40s and '50s. Taken down by Bobby Kennedy.

Good read.

Dude was a gunman with Murder Inc?

Some believed he planned out the Bugsy Seigel hit?
